Taylor The Latte Boy

Hey guys.. this may be a stupid question but this song that Kristin sings.. is it from a musical or just from her C.D.?

I think that it is just a cabaret type song and not from any show.

re: Taylor The Latte Boy

oh.. I just got her As I Am C.D. and was wondering since it's bonus.. it's sounds sortof musical and is a LOT different from the rest of her songs on that C.D. .. have you ever heard it

It's not from a show, it's just an overdone cabaret song.

i know that susan egan sang it on her cd titled (excuse me if i'm wrong) Coffee House. or something to that extent. that was before Kristin's lovely rendition. i would assume that susan had it written for herself for that coffee house album. but i may be mistaken.

re: Taylor The Latte Boy

Kristin has been singing it for years and years. She first did it on the Rosie O show during her Charlie Brown days.

re: Taylor The Latte Boy

you're both right - kristin started singing it first - susan recorded it first

and john tartaglia does a hysterical version in his concerts

re: Taylor The Latte Boy

It actually was once in a show that kristin was in (or so I've heard) it was called "adventures in love" -and it's a musical revue that played in st. paul and dallas - a friend of mine actually saw the show and remembered loving it - no recording exists though


here's some info about how it was written from a talkin broadway interview with zena and marcy

ZG: When Marcy is alone at night writing, she's drawing from her experiences for lyrics and song ideas, but the ideas are not complete until we get together. "Taylor" is a prime example of how something will happen to us and we will turn it into a song. We were in Starbucks one day and really did meet this young guy named Taylor. We were chatting with him and were totally drunk ...

MH: (directly into microphone) Not totally drunk! Just pleasantly inebriated! With all of our faculties still intact!

ZG: That's right! And for the next few weeks we were going around chanting "Taylor the latte boy, bring me java, bring me joy." That was it; just those two lines. They kept sticking in our head until we thought, "You know, maybe we should complete this song."

MH: For that song, we definitely came up with the chorus first. I could not think of a phrase to finish the first sentence: "There's a boy who works at Starbucks, who is very inspirational, he is very inspirational, because of ... " I could not think of a way to end it, so I just wrote down " ... many things." And we never changed it! I thought I would come up with a phrase later on, but we decided that that was the feel we wanted for the song. So rather than writing something like, "Zina and I were tipsy, and wandered into a Starbucks," we created a character that we didn't expect.

re: Taylor The Latte Boy

There's a local radio program in Utah that only plays show tunes on Saturday nights. It's called Showtune Saturday Night and recently there has been a big debate on the show about whether or not the host, Erica Hansen, should play "Taylor the Latte Boy" since it's not from a musical so, therefore, not really a show tune. But she loves the song, as I do, and usually plays it about every other week and talks about it, etc. So if you want to hear it, the program is available to listen to online beginning at http://www.kosy.com/pages/showtune_saturday_night/. It starts at 8pm MST. 4 hours of nothing but showtunes. Ya gotta love it. Erica also happens to have been a backup singer for WIW star, Michael Ball, when he performed in Salt Lake City in 2004.

re: Taylor The Latte Boy

re: Taylor The Latte Boy

I've heard this song sang thousands of times. I don't believe it's from a particular show though...

re: Taylor The Latte Boy

No offense NO_Day_but_TODAY, but did you read the rest of the thread? A couple of people already posted about it being in a show called "Adventures in Love". I don't mean to be rude or snappy, but just read the whole thread before posting...(which I know we are ALL guilty of failing to do sometimes...)
